Well starting to get it together now, pics will be forthcoming but here is the breakdown of the core pieces, I've decided to go with pretty much all off the shelf GM parts to keep cost down and yes I know I can make more power blah blah blah but this is just a replacement engine with a little more power, not looking for huge numbers on my DD! Anyway here is the breakdown
2002 LS1 shortblock 317 Truck heads (looking for 87 octane!) LQ9 camshaft Trickflow Chromoly pushrods GMPP high volume oil pump LS2 HD timing chain electric fan swap kit GMPP LS1 Plug wires NGK's have an 03 5.3 coming in Monday with 29K on, going to steal all the electronics off of it to replace all my sensors and such Shortblock is torn down and waiting to go to the machine shop now, if it gets a clean bill of health I'll start getting the other pieces. **Edit** supposed to be "Tahoe" engine build, the Taheo engine is still good

I knew it wouldn't take long to hear what I should of done, lol. No real point to paying for a 6.0 when i already had access to an aluminum 5.7 for next to nothing, I am not going to be maxing out the potential of either engine so the lighter more fuel efficient engine is a better fit for what I want

Already had the LS1 though, or you would be correct, I can get a 6.0 for about $800, and an LS1 will be at least $1500.00
